I got a cheap toy lens for my nice Canon DSLR. It might be useful, but I was mostly disappointed in the shots that it takes. I think that’s mostly because I try to set up my shots and look at all the details closely. I’m thinking I might try setting the display to not show and take my photos a lot faster with the lens. That might fit the picture quality a bit better.
That said, these are a few that I liked.

EML Manual Voltage Generator
This is one of the most interesting synthesizer controllers I’ve seen in a while. It’s pretty much a user definable keyboard. Sequencers often have knobs you turn to select which pitch is played when that step in the sequence is triggered. This is the same thing, but instead of steps, it’s 16 buttons that can be tuned with 16 knobs. It would probably be simple and somewhat cheap to make something like this, and it would give some great playability. I could see having multiple sections to a song, and setting a row of these buttons up to play the melody, and other sections would get their own rows as well.
Syntar Solo!
Just wanted to share a few photos from the PNW Synthfest that happened a while back. Honestly, I would have taken more photos, but there were so many modulars, and so many people in the space that it was a bit overwhelming. Don’t think I’ll go to any of the huge music gear shows.

I’m putting up a few posts of collections of 2011 photos that didn’t fit into any one category. These are just beachy.

These photos were shot throughout the year using an iPhone app called Hipstamatic. It creates some lovely old school looking photos.
